Doctors Delayed 911 Call

... According to Report

Doctors performing Joan Rivers' throat procedure delayed calling 911 for 10 minutes after she went into cardiac arrest ... according to a new report.

Dr. Lawrence Cohen from Yorkville Endoscopy and Joan's own ENT, Dr. Gwen Korovin attempted to resuscitate Rivers, but failed during the critical 10 minutes ... according to the NY Post.

The Post report says even before Joan went into cardiac arrest ... her pulse and and blood pressure were dropping quickly -- a sign she was in the danger zone -- but the doctors continued scoping her larynx and trachea.

Joan's pulse had reportedly plummeted to 47 prior to the anesthesiologist administering Propofol.

TMZ broke the story ... a federal report showed there were major problems with the amount of Propofol used on Joan.

Dr. Korovin and Dr. Cohen have not responded to reports detailing alleged errors during the procedure.

Fans of The Archers will remember her as Emma Grundy, the marriage-wrecking wild child who struggled to overcome a life of rural poverty.

But in this £14,500 silk red Christian Dior dress, actress Felicity Jones, left, who was the voice of Emma for ten years, looks the epitome of Hollywood glamour as she prepares to take on her biggest role yet.

Next year, Felicity, 31, stars in The Theory Of Everything, a biopic about physicist Stephen Hawking based on the memoirs of his first wife, Jane Wilde.

Eddie Redmayne plays Hawking alongside Felicity’s Jane.

Hawking met Jane at Cambridge University and they married when he was 18, soon after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

Despite looking resplendent in the dress for the Tatler shoot, Felicity told the magazine she is more suited to roughing it.‘I’m quite tomboyish and I like being comfortable – but that’s not what the red carpet is about.’

Asked what she did for fun, she seemed momentarily at a loss before answering: ‘Fun? What’s that?’

The Oxford University graduate also revealed that her public persona was a subject that keeps her awake at night.

‘When you’re an actress, you don’t want people to be distracted by who you are, what you’ve been getting up to,’ she said.

It is one of the most prestigious public schools in Britain, with the distinctive black blazers of its pupils a familiar sight in the West London borough of Hammersmith.

But because of a worrying wave of street robberies in the area, the boys from St Paul’s School have been banned from displaying their uniform outside the school gates – and parents at the £22,000-a-year establishment have been urged to buy hooded tops for their sons so they blend in more easily with the local youths.

It is understood that criminal gangs have been targeting the pupils in the belief that they are likely to be carrying expensive smartphones.

The mother of one young robbery victim said: ‘If anything, they could get into trouble with teachers for keeping their uniform on these days. The mugging problem has become very bad lately. There have been at least 14 that I know of.’

The concerned parent said teachers now patrolled Hammersmith Bridge because most pupils have to walk across it every day and the muggers wait at either end knowing they have no escape.

‘They know these children have the best iPhones or the best laptops and iPads,’ she added.

The boys-only day school on the banks of the Thames has one of the toughest admissions tests in London and most pupils come from its £6,000-a-year preparatory school Colet Court. Former St Paul’s pupils include the poet John Milton, diarist Samuel Pepys and Chancellor George Osborne.

The rules state that boys are required to wear charcoal grey trousers with a plain white shirt and a school tie corresponding with their house for most of the time, adding the famous black blazer for formal events.

Now they have been told to cover up the ties and are also allowed to exchange their black leather shoes for trainers to walk home in.

And although many former students wear their St Paul’s School scarves with pride, current pupils are told they could be putting themselves in danger by following suit in public.

It seems the recent spate of robberies might not be an entirely new phenomenon.

Former pupil Douglas Edwardes-Ker, now 30, told The Mail on Sunday last night: ‘There were some muggings in my day. The bigger kids like me would look out for the smaller ones and try to save the day if something went wrong.

‘The local kids from the estates nearby hated us. They saw us as privileged and spoiled and I suppose they thought we were an easy target because they assumed we wouldn’t fight back.

‘They didn’t account for some of the rugby players.’

A school source said the no-uniform policy had been in place for six months, and in that time, the number of muggings had fallen significantly.

The source added: ‘All pupils are now told never to leave the premises wearing their blazers. We encourage them to wear overcoats or hoodies once they leave the grounds in order to keep themselves safe.’
